Not wanting to prolong the OT-ness (but doing so anyway)... It looks nice, certainly a relief after the horrorshow of the 4000, although the latter does have some *really* cool features if you're prepared to persevere.I just kept on thinking I was supposed to drive the f*ing thing! It's huge!

Hear hear! I heartily agree, although I will be checking the facts on this one, it seems odd. The last one this bad was the same time of year, back in 1996. Maybe it's the heat? Was reading an interesting thing on GNN about a strategic vote for Dean in 2004...I dunno, it's not even my country!

Sorry mate, that's Blechdottir, the follow-up. The first Blech is much more rare (apparently) and the Muzik Magazine tape is probably rarer than that. Someone out there must have it though... I have already sourced a CDR of Blech 1, thanks to a kind and generous 313er, so it's only the Muzik
